Abstract: |
Characterization setup for biodegradable stretchable electrodes in the context of cardiac patches for organ transplant monitoring. This thesis focuses on the development of a characterization setup whose ultimate goal is to evaluate the performance of novel biodegradable stretchable electrodes intended for use in a more complex system, namely a cardiac patch. In general, the setup, implemented using LabVIEW and Arduino, provides a versatile platform for testing and characterizing flexible electronics. Performance evaluation of the setup was conducted to ensure its reliability and effectiveness. In addition to the setup development, flexible electrodes composed of PDMS and gold were fabricated during the thesis period. These electrodes were not intended for use in the cardiac patches; rather, they were created as a comparative benchmark against the innovative and biodegradable electrodes. Furthermore, they were designed to test the setup with a real-world use case and to begin exploring the characterization of such devices. The combination of the characterization setup and the fabricated electrodes represents a significant step towards the realization of reliable, effective monitoring systems and a new class of medical devices. Further research and refinement of both the setup and electrode fabrication processes will contribute to the advancement in this critical field. |
